    The tall body makes getting in and out very easy, cabin space feels surprisingly big, and the mileage is quite impressive for daily office runs or school pickups. The engine is simple and low-maintenance, and service cost stays friendly on the pocket. It is very easy to park in tight colony roads, and visibility is wide. Only thing some people Notice is that the car leans a bit when taking fast turns, but overall it’s a reliable, budget-friendly family hatchback.

    Wagon R is tall, easy to drive, and perfect for tight city parking. Families like the big boot and good mileage. Engine is reliable and cheap to maintain. Only thing, high speed stability is Not great on highways, but for city life it is a No tension car.

    As a Wagon R owner, I can say that the car has been a great value for money. It is fuel-efficient, easy to maintain and drive, and spacious enough for a small family. The boot could have been bigger but it is still enough for a week's worth of groceries. Overall, I'm very happy with my Wagon R.

    I bought my wagonr in November, 2021. It has recently completed 45000km and till now not a single engine check light or any kind of malfunction light came up. Also not a single rattling or squeaking sound from any part of the interior. Its a very low maintenance car. Power is average for the price. But for the negatives is the ride quality and suspension setup. Doing 80-100km/h is smooth highways is fine but whenever the road has small undulations, i loose confidence. If 5 adult members sit, then the car really struggles and 70km/h also feels unstable. Wagonr is a good car as i only have to visit the service centre for routine servicing. And mostly my runnings are solo and on the highway and the car does a great job.

    Me and my whole family love our Wagon R. I have been to multiple road trips, I visit my hometown which is approx 800km from Hyderabad where I live once a year. Wagon R have never given us any trouble, the car is awesome for city traffic and performance on highways is also very good. The current car we have is my family's second Wagon R. First one my father bought, I learnt driving in that car and in 2021 I bought my Wagon R as my first car.

    WagonR is a good car that is recommended to someone with a family. Its performance is quite good given its price point, although the USP of this car remains the extensive space it provides. Looks might not be quite appealing, but its versatility makes up for it.

    WagonR is a versatile car choice for family-oriented people. Larger space makes it up for family get arounds. But it also packs a punch, making it a good overall car for your daily needs. It also provide a decent mileage, and comes with decent amount of features for a reasonable price.

    I have a 2019 Maruti Suzuki ZXi top model, and I’m very happy with its performance. It has a 2000cc engine, and I never feel it is underpowered. The mileage is also good, around 20 km/l. Earlier, it used to give more than 20 km/l, but now it gives approximately 18 km/l

    Absolutely no nonsense car. No fancy features. Simple spacious car for small family. Driver sitting position is best in this. It's a best city car. Service cost is also the lower side compared to other models.

    Amazing family car under budget. Great for areas with higher congestion. Doesn't require very large space and a great deal for day to day purpose.

    The WagonR is undeniably a value-packed choice in its category. It impresses with its commendable ground clearance and fuel efficiency, much like the Maruti Ignis. However, it does have some room for improvement when it comes to pickup and shock absorbers. The power delivery and rear seat legroom may not be class-leading, but its compact design and user-friendly nature make it a standout option for navigating city streets with ease.
